%N Decimal expansion of sqrt(phi) / (1 - phi/e) where phi=(1+sqrt(5))/2.
%C Sqrt(phi) / (1 - phi/e) is somewhat close to Pi.
%C Because phi/e < 1 we have sqrt(phi) / (1 - phi/e) = sqrt(phi) * Sum_{n=0..Infinity}( phi/e) ^n. We obtain a better approximation of Pi with 14 terms: sqrt(phi) * Sum_{n=0..14} ( phi/e) ^n = 3.14135146821891366128707....
